CIMA’s latest pass rates have just been released and are currently available on its website.
Operational level improved slightly from November 2022 to February 2023 at 68%. Prior 2022, the last time the operational level was in the 60% range was in November 2019.
Management level was steady to 72% in February 2023. The rates continue to give the impression that MCS students are preparing and handling the case study exams well.
Strategic level took a hard hit from 71% in November 2022 to 56% in February 2023. This was a major dip, similar to the one the Strategic level took from May to August.
No new pass rates have been released for the Objective Test (OT). The current pass rates covered the period Nov 2021 to Nov 2022.
Despite the good performance shown in the pass rates, students must not become complacent about studying. Good results do not mean that the exams are any easier. I’d like to think that it’s more about students focusing and dedicating more towards their studies, thereby earning good marks for their exams.
